Message-Id: <IqBpv0.Epq@zorch.sf-bay.org>
NAME
Code::Dumper - Debugging module to have your cake and eat it too
SYNOPSIS
use Code::Dumper;
# DUMP (
print "just another perl hacker";
# )
DESCRIPTION
Surround code with the special Code::Dumper comments (see
SYNOPSIS) and your code will be:
o executed as normal
o printed as well
Debugging can be fun. However after too many print
statements and Data::Dumpers have been sprinked
all around, lets face it... it can do your head in.
Code::Dumper is a module that attempts to bring back
debugging context and your sanity.
BUGS
Please report them. Better yet, submit a patch :)

From: Ron Savage <ron@savage.net.au>
Subject: Javascript::MD5 V 1.05
Message-Id: <IqBpt5.EGu@zorch.sf-bay.org>
The pure Perl module Javascript::MD5 V 1.05
is available immediately from CPAN,
and from http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules.html.
On-line docs, and a *.ppd for ActivePerl are also
available from the latter site.
An extract from the docs:
1.05 Fri Oct 21 14:27:00 2005
- No code changes (ouside new() ), so no need to upgrade
- Simplify code in new() to no longer check if caller is an object
as per the new standard on such matters. Personally, I don't care :-)
- Add more things to MANIFEST.SKIP
- Regenerate META.yml with Module::Build V 0.2611 to correct a faulty
META.yml output by V 0.24 which falsely said 'provides: {}',
which in turn stopped the PAUSE indexer from finding the MD5.pm file,
which in turn meant this module was omitted from the master index:

Subject: MSSQL::OlleDB 2.000
Message-Id: <IqBpun.EoC@zorch.sf-bay.org>
Despite the version number, this is actually a new module, but I versioned
it 2.0 as it it a successor to my older module MSSQL::Sqllib.
MSSQL::OlleDB is aimed to be the prime choice when you need to connect
to Microsoft SQL Server from Windows, and you do not have any requirement
to be portable to any other DB engine or platform. OlleDB uses the OLE DB
API to connect to SQL Server. With OlleDB you have access to about all
features in SQL Server 2005.
The module is on its way into CPAN. You can also download it from
http://www.sommarskog.se/mssqlperl/index.html.

Subject: Net::Server and data sharing
Message-Id: <k364o19v6viuusch90bgselipcd21rs5hm@4ax.com>
I would like to make some sort of server which should periodically grab data
from various places and serve them to clients via preforked children.
These children should somehow have access to parent data, so I've looked at
Net::Server but I'm not sure if it's best suited for the job. Please
recommend something. :)
